Best Answer To Other Cars Transportation Question

A blown head gasket is going to cost you that much to get fixed by a repair shop, give or take a few hundred $$$. I wouldnt pay anymore than $ for it. If you do it yourself... $500-800 in parts and machine work. You will need too have the heads resurface and tested for cracks at a machine shop/possibly replaced if they are cracked. That might be a little on the low end though, because we get discounted parts. About a week long project for a shop. Maybe longer for you. The choice is yours, How mechanically inclined are you and do you have the time to devote to it?

me and my fiancee use this stuff called "steel seal" (just google it and the website should show up) it has worked in 7 cars for us. the first one we did like 3 years ago and it still runs great. the directions are kind of complicated but its worth it. It usually takes us about 4 hours to fix a car. Id recommend it to anyone :) It wont work it the head is cracked or the block is cracked however - you would need to get the head resurfaced in that case. the bottles run about $80 for two. is the car for sale at all? i need one :)
